I know this is gross, but I have searched like crazy and can’t find the answer. I got my first small yeast infection and found a ton of info saying that yogurt (and putting a garlic clove up there is supposed to work, too) could cure a yeast infection, and to actually put yogurt down there and…inside. Well, I got desperate and actually did it. I also did the garlic for 3 nights.

I keep checking myself to see if the white discharge is gone, but I am still finding some white stuff, which is not lumpy like they say yeast infections are (but it is definitely white, and not something else), no yeasty smell, and is almost like a liquidy texture.

Is this the yogurt coming out still? It’s been about two days since I did that treatment (the frozen yogurt tampon). How do other people get the yogurt out? Does it come out naturally? Get absorbed? If I only find a tiny bit of that and maybe one small (I mean tiny) bit of yeast, am I pretty much home free?

Also, I bought Actimel (euro version of DanActiv) which is a yogurt drink with lots of live cultures. Will drinking, say, 8 small bottles of this in the course of a day for a few days help curing this along?

I know this is a lot, but the question about getting the yogurt out is the most important! What is supposed to happen?!

I would really like to know how other people PREVENT (not cure) yeast infections from happening, epically while pregnant since our hormones are all out of whack.
Ahh thank you for the personal experience! I use to eat a lot of yogurt and got tired of it =/, I had to take antibiotics for an ear infection which made me have a super bad yeast infection that causes BV, not fun.

But, I love yogurt, I just got tired of it for a period of a year or so.

Putting garlic in your vagina cures yeast infection? Has it ever worked for you? How much of it do you apply and for how many days to apply it? Also how do you know when yeast infection has gone? I get white/yellow thick discharge sometimes and some people said its yeast infection. I also dont want to tell my mum or go to the doctor because its embaressing. Im also 14 and ive had that yellow thick creamy discharge since i was like 9… I thought it was normal but i guess not. I also get normal discharge too (white/clear slimy stuff)
